New York Rangers center Derek Stepan made the trip with the rest of the team, but head coach Alain Vigneault told reporters that he didn't know if Stepan would be available for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference final on Tuesday night.

"I couldn't say right now," Vigneault said in Montreal on Monday. "I have no idea."

Stepan broke his jaw on a check delivered by Canadiens forward Brandon Prust in the first period of Game 3 on Thursday. Stepan underwent surgery on Friday and missed Game 4, a contest the Rangers won, 3-2 in overtime, to take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.

Vigneault said at "a minimum" that Stepan would have to practice on Tuesday before he'll crack the lineup.

Vigneault said that Daniel Carcillo --- who was tagged with a 10-game suspension for contact with an official in Game 3 -- was also on the trip. One player who didn't board the flight was forward T.J. Miller, who was driven into the net by Montreal defenseman Andre Markov in the second period of Sunday's Game 4.

Miller skated to the bench and didn't re-enter the game.

"He's got an upper body injury, so he won't be with us here for the next couple of days," Vigneault said.
